2. To add SRVNET to the exempt list, perform the following from the command prompt (EXACTLY as displayed below. DRIVER MUST be written in caps):powercfg -requestsoverride DRIVER "\FileSystem\srvnet" System Awaymodeand for good measure (not sure if necessary but I did it anyways)...powercfg -requestsoverride DRIVER "srvnet" System Awaymode3. Once it is all said and done, it should look like this after running:powercfg -requestsoverride[DRIVER]\FileSystem\srvnet SYSTEM AWAYMODEsrvnet SYSTEM AWAYMODE4. Enjoy sleep mode again.
The only relevant settings I can see involve what happens when I close the lid. It was set as expected (When on battery/charging, go to sleep). For the sake of not stressing out over it I've set to to do nothing when its shut (by nothing it means just shut off the screen and not the system) and to sleep if I tap the power button. This is fine for now but I would still like to get it to sleep just so that I save some battery. If there is a specific setting I should be looking at, let me know.
How To Run Utorrent In Sleep Mode

I am running Windows 7 (64-bit) on a M6300 and I have it set to do nothing when I shut the lid since I am using an external monitor, but if it is inactive for a greater than a certain period of time, the laptop does go to sleep. Maybe you should try disabling Alienware CC and try just Windows 7 settings.
I found the solution to my own problem. I run uTorrent on this laptop and while searching through the preferences in an attempt to up the bandwidth allocation I stumbled upon an option that says "Prevent standby if there are active torrents". Apparently the program was stopping my laptop from sleeping every time I closed it while downloading something.
Yes, if the mac sleeps, you can't run any processing. Apple have released as part of Mountain Lion a background system that can run while asleep (PowerNap), but that's not open to other apps, and also needs a laptop with a flash drive. Besides, torrents require a fair amount of processing of the data, lots of network traffic and HD activity.
Not sure about uTorrent but Transmission lets you prevent computer sleep when there are active transfers, and you can set limits on when to stop the transfer. So, you can have it set to seed a certain amount after it's finished downloading, then remove it automatically, and your computer will then sleep.
Sleep mode is a low-power mode in computers that helps save plenty of electrical power. However, you may encounter a situation in which the computer will not enter sleep mode as it used to. If you want to solve this issue, this post gives you 4 methods to fix this issue.
Windows 10 has a built-in feature where, if your system is idle for too long, it will begin to put certain components to sleep. This sleep process starts with the screen locking on inactivity, followed by the monitor turning off i.e., entering sleep, and ends with the entire system entering sleep mode.
The sleep function for the monitor is automatic. If a user never changes it, it will use the default setting and enter sleep accordingly. The default settings generally have a small time-out period so your monitor will likely go to sleep in 2-5 minutes.
Some apps will block Windows 10 from sleeping the display and the system even if the user has been idle. Common examples of these types of apps are media players, torrent clients, and download managers.
While system sleep and monitor sleep are two different things, it is possible that an app blocking your system from sleeping is also blocking your monitor from going to sleep. To find out which app is blocking sleep, follow this step.
Some devices connected to your system e..g. an external hard drive may be preventing the system from sleeping. If your hard drive has its own power source, it is all the more likely to prevent sleep on your monitor or system. Disconnect devices and see if the system goes to sleep.
I wrote the following script to reboot my modem.Now i want to ensure that if the script is running then the following actions only take place after 7.00 pm.I tried Windows Tasker but it wasn't the right choice for me.I tried to use Time Macros but cannot seem to use it properly.
What is the model number and manufacturer of your modem? It may be easier to send commands directly to the modem to reboot it, without using an user interface at all. This would make scheduling the reboot easier.
I follow you now @tatoo236. @MuffinMan has a good example you can implement. You needed to add a loop into your script. What the example is doing is in loop and sleeping for 1 min until the magic hour of 7pm or 19:00. If you look in the help file, you will see that the _nowTime function with a paramater of 4 is converting the result to a 24hr format. In the example, make sure to change $TimeToReboot to $HourToReboot in the 'IF' statement. Just make sure to put MuffinMan's script above yours like below. Also, comment out the MsgBox or set a time option like this
In Windows 10, you can use various methods to shutdown, restart, hibernate or sleep the operating system. However, if you need to create a shortcut to perform one of these actions directly, the operating system does not provide you such an option. You need to create such shortcuts manually, using a special set of commands. Here is how it can be done.Before you continue, you might be interested in knowing that it is possible to create a shortcut for the good old classic Shut Down Windows dialog. We showed you how it can be done here:How to create a shortcut to the Shut Down Windows dialog in Windows 10
However, if you have hibernation enabled, which is on by default on most computers, the command will put your PC into hibernation instead. I explained this in detail here: How to sleep Windows 10 from the command line. So, you can create a batch file "sleep.cmd" with the following contents:
Sleep mode is a low power mode in computers where this mode saves plenty of electrical consumption. Upon resume, the device loads the last session so you avoid the hassle of opening applications or starting your work again. The machine state is held in RAM; when issued the sleep command, the computer powers off un-needed processes and sets the RAM to the minimum power state.
Before we move on with the troubleshooting, we will check if the sleep mode is actually enabled on your computer. There is a specific timer in the system. If the computer remains unused for that period of time, it goes into sleep mode automatically.
Browsers tend to exchange data with websites even when you are not using it. Website such as web.whatsapp or Skype etc. tends to use push notifications which keeps your browser awake which in turn keeps your PC awake. You should try closing all of your browsers properly using the task manager and then wait to see if the computer goes into sleep mode. If it does, you can easily diagnose which website is causing the problem. Start with interactive websites (WhatsApp, yahoo, live, Skype), etc. and once diagnosed, refrain from keeping the tab open.
Unplug these devices from your computer and wait for the timer to put your computer to sleep mode. If the issue still persists, feel free to plug these devices back on and proceed with further solutions.
Hybrid sleep is a combination of sleep mode and hibernation. The contents of the RAM are copied to non-volatile storage (just like in regular hibernation) but then, instead of powering down, the computer enters sleep mode. This approach aims to combine the benefits of sleep mode and hibernation. The machine can resume instantaneously while also powering down to save energy.
Many devices have the ability to keep your computer awake. These devices can include the mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc. You should disable this setting for all the devices except for Ethernet and check if you still face the problem. In the majority of cases, a slight movement of the mouse or some external device communication with the computer disrupts the sleep timer. We are demonstrating how to disable the setting for a mouse. Make sure that you implement these for all the other devices as well (except the Ethernet).
Windows has a feature to share media with other clients from your computer through the network. This feature can have traffic on your computer and may disrupt the sleep timer. We can try disabling it through advanced power options and check if this fixes the problem.
Windows has an inbuilt command which lets you identify which process/application is causing the sleep process on your computer to halt. Once you have identified the application/process correctly, you can stop them.
In some cases, Microsoft Edge runs in the background while you are using your computer and it prevents the computer from going into sleep. This behavior is usually implemented to prevent interruptions during browsing but it can be a hectic task to turn this off on the browser. Therefore, you will have to turn the Browser off from the task manager to get rid of it. For that:
Note: You should also try moving the Steam off of Desktop if there are any shortcuts or files there. This seems to fix the issue in some cases. Also, if you wanna leave it on in the background, try moving Steam to the Library mode instead of the homepage. This has to do with the software usually loading some videos or audio while on the homepage which leads the computer to think that the software is still in use. 2ff7e9595c
